Feathers By the arrangement of the genera on page 1018, the C. rntila and large white-collared species are excluded from the present genus as restricted. Chatiint, as here defined, is a genus of very extensive distribution, species occurring not only in Xorth and South America, but also in Africa and Asia. Anions^ the severiil American members, three stvles are distin^juishable, these probably representing only as many species; the sevei-al more closely allied forms being, in all probability, but geographical modifications of these three types. They may be arranged as follows : — Plumage wiffi no marked contrast of shades. C. pelagica. Nearly nniformly dusky grayish-brown, the throat, however, very nuioh lighter, and the rump just appreciably so. Above glossy dusky-brown, hardly ap[)reciably paler on the rump; abdomen scarcely paler than the back. Wing, Ilah. Eastern Province Xorth Ainerioa . \i\v. pelagica.
